Naples FL????
Looking for experienced flyer in Naples, FL to help a very inexperienced flyer.
Just purchased a Peter Lynn Twister 2, 4.1m kite and don’t want to kill myself.
Any help or advice would be greatly valued.

Hello Wallwaker,
Looks like you got as much response as I did asking for contacts in Miami! You know we're not originally from Miami so we like to play tourist alot.
Maybe one weekend we come to Naples for a fly and a visit... never been to Naples.

Hey, both of you, I live in Orlando. I worked for the kite shop here for a few years until the owners closed up shop and moved to the beach. I trained
a ton of people on power kites. Flying with others when you are new is a great way to learn the tips and tricks of flying quad line power kites. I'll
be in Venice, Florida this weekend visiting family. Not to far from Naples. Send a U2U if you want to meet up. Miami is a bit far of a drive for me to
just go to help out someone with a new kite. Although it does eat me up not being able to help a fellow Floridian kiter. Let me know if you want to
meet half way. Maybe Fort Pierce or Vero Beach. Not this weekend but the next is JIBE. Look it up on the forum. This would be a great learning
experience for both of you to learn from others. Jekyll Island, Georgia is not close for either of you but well worth the overnight trip for this
event.

That is quite a nice offer! I/we were considering going to Jekyll Island next week but then I realized that the Expo ends on Saturday! We couldn't
leave until late Friday nite so that's a deal breaker. Then Naples this weekend is out too! So all I can say is thank you for trying. I do appreciate
it
Donald

Drew were you at the shop over by Bass Pro???
Thanks again for the offer I have been out of pocket so did not get a chance to read until just now.
I would love to get together when ever you have a chance. I have a open area to fly that is private and at my disposal 24/7 large enough to fly 3 - 4
kites at the same time here in Naples. Miami is only a hour and a half so I am open for that as well.
I have a house in Winter Park so Orlando is home for me as well.

I worked the shop Hawaiian Kiteworks over by Bass Pro Shops for for a few years until they packed up shop and moved to the beach. I'll send a u2u with
my info. Let me know.

I purchased quite a few kites at that shop. I actually bought a few from the owner in Hawaii at the Mercardo and at the Festivle bay shop.
Nice people.
Look forward to hooking up and flying.
Mougl you got worked today. How are the arms.
